BS/RS Efficency
Some informative, calculated threads by fecsuper.
Most Efficient Table Design (to maximize profit):
Picture (10G door): 180,000C daily from 45,000 plates at +4/plate
OR Picture (without gem door): 4% slower meaning 172,800C daily from 43,200 plates.
Daily Plate and Earning Calculation: How many plates are eaten in a day and how much you make from it.
Serving per Hour Calculation: To make 45,000 plates daily, minimally need 105 plate per hour per appliance with 18 appliance up to 938 plates per hour per appliance with 2 appliances.
Adjust Food Consumption Speed (so as not to run out): Adjusting # of seats to balance plates cooked daily and consumption.
Parts Efficiency:
If you'd like to try to be the efficient parts type person too, first decide if it is for you. You need to be very patient (if you're going to quit the game tomorrow, why bother either way ;3) and don't mind reaping that last gem a month (or more) after the appliance's release.

Make the one-recipe appliance priority. What this means is that when the Nacho Machine and Outdoor Grill came out in Restaurant (same idea applies in Bakery), I always had those two out along with my Turducken Fryer and Holiday Drink Machine. (Though I would "replace" Outdoor Grill's spot overnight with another appliance since it'd spoil and I hate to waste time.) As I master one of the appliance, I then retire it, freeing up an appliance slot to cook "regular" food.
It is easier as you have more appliance slots (so you don't feel you only have one-recipe machines out) and you master the backlog. But it can be daunting if you have a huge backlog.
The downside to this strategy is that you'll eventually have way too many parts in your inventory (assuming you have parts gifting friends). But that's perfect for splurging and/or using to build 100 constructable decorations at once. ;D.
